ONE TOUCH CONTROL FOR ALL TYPES OF ANAESTHESIA<br />

CALAJECT effectively controls the anaesthetic flow rate across three programme settings. With one touch, users can ensure a smooth<br />

and gentle flow of the anaesthetic solution for intraligamental injections, infiltrations and regional nerve blocks to meet all local<br />

anaesthesia needs. Even palatal injections can be carried out with minimal to no discomfort for the patient.<br />

When it comes to the clinician’s comfort, the tactile, vibration-free handpiece and pen grip provides a relaxed and better working<br />

position where the needle can be kept perfectly still in situ. Now available with optional single-use, safe-sheathing barrels.<br />

Intraligamental Infiltration Palatal Regional nerve block<br />

“CALAJECT gives me the confidence of knowing my injections will always be delivered at a<br />

constant rate and at a speed appropriate for the procedure. This greatly enhances patient<br />

satisfaction. As many people reject treatment they need because of fear of the dental<br />

injection, taking away this concern is not only a relief for them but also improves my number<br />

of accepted treatment plans.“<br />

FEATURE<br />

Loupes – how do<br />

yours measure up?<br />

Paul Scott discusses the importance of<br />

custom-measured loupes<br />

Before you buy your next pair of loupes,<br />

or even your first pair of loupes, there’s<br />

a few things you should consider.<br />

Choosing loupes can be tricky. Do you go<br />

for the sporty ones, maybe the cheap pair<br />

you found on the internet, or do you go for<br />

the professionally measured, custom-fitted<br />

loupes that may be a little more expensive,<br />

but deliver beautiful magnification that<br />

exactly suits the type of work you’re doing?<br />

Any kind of loupe or loupe and light is<br />

costly if they don’t do the job, give you eye<br />

strain, which leads to headaches, or are<br />

heavy or uncomfortable to wear. That’s<br />

where a bit more research will probably<br />

lead to the conclusion that professionally<br />

custom-measured, custom-fitted loupes are<br />

worth their weight in titanium.<br />

It’s easy to find ready-made loupes on the<br />

internet and these might look like a good<br />

option; they’re probably fairly cheap and<br />

what have you got to lose? Unfortunately<br />

these loupes are usually set to ‘averages’<br />

and cannot be adjusted to your personal<br />

requirements. Internet purchased flip-ups<br />

require that you set these up yourself<br />

without any training and this is a difficult<br />

procedure and is often done incorrectly. This<br />

could lead to poor vision, eye strain and bad<br />

posture. Additionally they are often made<br />

of inferior materials, with flimsy frames and<br />

poor quality lenses and over time your eyes<br />

and posture can suffer as you accommodate<br />

for the deficiencies in the product. Good<br />

quality, well-measured loupes can really<br />

enhance your clinical work and make your<br />

daily practice more comfortable in both the<br />

short and long term.<br />

Posture and positioning<br />

Often when I talk to dentists many seem to<br />

have suffered, or are suffering from, a range<br />

of muscular skeletal difficulties. This seems<br />

to be increasingly commonplace as dentists<br />

are either seeing more patients, or the type<br />

of work they’re doing is more exacting and<br />

they find themselves having to get nearer<br />

to the patient to see what they are doing.<br />

I’m also seeing dentists where they have<br />

been provided with loupes, but the loupes<br />

themselves are making them adopt poor<br />

posture. A pair of well-measured, customfitted<br />

loupes with a light will not only allow<br />

you to see more, it will also allow you to<br />

work in perfect comfort without constant<br />

aches and pains.<br />

The working distance between the<br />

clinician’s eyes and the patient, together<br />

with the angle of declination – how much<br />

you tilt your head – need to be appropriate<br />

for the individual. Getting these two things<br />

correct minimises stress on the neck, back<br />

and shoulders, leading to a comfortable<br />

viewing position of the working area, which<br />

in turn aids the delivery of high quality<br />

clinical work.<br />

Made-to-measure<br />

When it comes to choosing loupes and<br />

a light there are many benefits to being<br />

measured by an expert in your own surgery,<br />

after all you wouldn’t expect your patients<br />

to make their own crowns.<br />

When I visit a practice to help a dentist<br />

select a pair of loupes I like to find out what<br />

kind of magnification they are currently<br />

using and if they have any difficulties<br />

with their posture. I then observe them<br />

in their normal working position and<br />

discuss the kind of work they are doing,<br />

general dentistry or more specialist work,<br />

which might require a higher level of<br />

magnification.<br />

Measuring and more measuring<br />

As part of the consultation process I take<br />

many detailed measurements of a dentist’s<br />

working position and face, in addition to<br />

taking some personal details. All this builds<br />

a picture, giving me the information I need<br />

to advise on the best loupes for you. This<br />

ensures that the loupes are perfect for you<br />

and allow you to work in a correct position.<br />

As a trained dispensing optician, I wonder<br />

how anyone seriously thinks that they can<br />

buy a pair of loupes that are fit for purpose<br />

from an online website (it’s impossible to<br />

take your own measurements), or from<br />

companies without the proper training,<br />

expertise or experience.<br />

Custom-measured, expertly fitted loupes<br />

will deliver fantastic vision, comfort, style,<br />

and many years of excellent service.<br />

In the overall scheme of things, if you take<br />

your dentistry seriously, buying custommade<br />

loupes and a light is really an<br />

investment in yourself and helps you deliver<br />

comfortable and high quality dentistry.<br />
